The reason behind his dissatisfaction was the way the fight ended. Brooks was on a comeback after a disappointing run in the UFC, as he lost all three of his fights. Although the win wasn’t all he wanted, in fact, he wanted to put on a show for the audience.
Brooks won the fight after his opponent couldn’t fight anymore after a checked kick from Brooks broke his leg. Bastos attempted one of the first kicks of the match, which was successfully checked by ‘Ill Will’. As a result, Bastos fell on the canvas and held his leg in visibly excruciating pain.
